* Gone skinnydipping. And I never will. Not pretty for anyone involved. -- Why do I find this hard to believe? I think there's a good lot of us that'd go skinny dipping with you any day! :) *ducks from Jason*

* Drank beer and liked it. Taking a sip and turning up my nose doesn’t really count as drinking it and enjoying it. Surely I should work on this, living in England? -- Yes, yes you should. You are in Europe, land of great beer. Try a bunch, even if you don't mung out on them, because it's great beer. Then again, I come from America, where beer is like making love in a canoe.

* Gotten a tattoo. -- I could never do this, I don't think, because I think of what I was like 10 years ago and I would have chosen a waaaay different tattoo, so I can't pick something and hope I'll still like it later.

* Been quite so nervous about taking a job. -- Lots of luck -- you'll be great!

I've done pretty much all of those (with the exception of the commenting one). I've only gone skinny dipping once, but having grown up across from a public pool, I decided I needed to do that right before I headed off to college. It's a little creepy doing that all by yourself.

Aly! When you come to DC I am taking you out for a manicure and a beer. Have you tried wheat beer or white beer? They are SO much better than regular beer. I like mine with lemons, limes, or oranges in them.

I have never drank beer and liked it. But truth be told I could agree with everything on your list except the house hunting thing. Done that.It's depressing.Just re-read it. I have been out for an entire night, so that's another that I've done.It's tiring.

I've never done the skinnydipping, tatoo or pancakes. (Actually, I've never made ANY kind of food successfully, but I'm depressing myself just thinking of that, so moving on...), but have done everything else - assuming that speeding tickets count as a "crime", which I guess they do. Oops.

Sending good thoughts your way that the first day was better than your expectations!

As for your list...hmmm I seem to have not done more than I have done. I guess that makes me a loser grandma.-skinnydipping: nope-beer: only in certain situations will I prefer beer to wine or the hard stuff. But I am picky about what beers I will drink even in those situations. -facial/mani/pedi: yes, yes, & yes.-star wars: hard not to when your suite mate is writing a college term paper on the epic nature of the trilogy!-Jason's comment: well if I insert my DH for Jason, he doesn't know my link, so no he doesn't comment (which is A-Ok with me!)-out all night: does coming in at 5:30am count?-perfect pancake: I'm more concerned with the perfect chocolate chip waffle-house hunting: several times...it can get quite tedious to keep being shown things either out of budget or so hellacious they should just be torched and have done with. -engaged/married: yes and yes (1x each)-committed a crime: only if a speeding ticket counts-tattoo: with my fear of needles...oh yeah like that's going to happen-nervous about a job?: yes, and the night before I'd dream that I was driving the actual route to work and run off the road and crash, every time! But the next AM I'd drive in without issues and the first day would be fine.

I have had a facial, a manicure, and a pedicure, and I'd have to say that of all 3 of those? The facial is the best. Ahhh, it's so relaxing to lie there in a dimly lit room, the sound of running water nearby, and peaceful nature sounds coming from the CD player while someone gently massages my face and applies various potions and tonics. I could fall asleep while having a good facial; much more relaxing than a full body massage which can be somewhat painful at times.

I have never: seen the Grand Canyon; been to New York City; skydived; bunjee jumped; been pierced in places other than my ears; been tattooed; seen Silence of the Lambs; smoked a cigarette or anything else for that matter; passed out from drinking too much; been in a hot air balloon.

Some of these "nevers" I would actually like to do. Some, though, I still never would do.

I've had a manicure, watched Star Wars movies, and I've drank beer and not minded. I don't know if "liked" is really accurate, but I didn't dislike it.There are so many things I've never done that I wouldn't even know what to list.

I have done a few of those, but the one I want to mention is been out all night, and I don't mean been UP all night, I mean OUT all night. Yep, I sure have. It was when my now boyfriend of 3 years was my best friend (ya know, before we started dating) and we went out all night. We went to a downtown park, and walked around, then went back to our friends house, played guitar, and mainly just talked. It was awesome and I'll never ever forget it. Especially since we were out all night, my boyfriend didn't even get to sleep. He just went straight to work, after coming from work the night before with ZERO sleep. But I still love to think about it. :)
